Beautiful Games: emotive football paintings by Rob Caddick

Fans of Brighton and Wolves will be familiar with these brilliant works by artist
Rob Caddick. His lifelike paintings, which celebrate the bond between football and the community, can be found inside Amex Stadium and Molineux. Caddick combines impressionist-style brush strokes with elements of realism – especially in his subject's faces – to capture the raw emotion of matchdays. He describes his style as being 'somewhere between Monet's Water Lilies and the 1973 FA Cup final'. His works are made using oil on canvas or oil-pastel on acrylic on paper, with a rich colour palette being a fundamental feature of his oeuvre
